Inspira Financial Trust, LLC; Oak Brook (IL); Remote; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

Inspira Financial Trust, LLC is seeking an AI CoE Principal Software Engineer to own the enterprise AI engineering foundation, including semantic routing, model hosting, and AI operations. This senior IC will shape architecture, standards, and a multi-year capability roadmap from discovery through production scale.

You will design, build, and operate the shared AI platform, partner with AI-Ops, and deliver production AI services for documentation, claims adjudication, and regulatory monitoring

Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and operate the shared enterprise AI platform, including core semantic data, model, harness, and hosting capability used across developer and in-product personalization use cases.
• Design and maintain intelligent request routing using semantic analysis and deterministic logic to direct requests to the best-fit LLM, internal tool, or agentic pool, using cost, latency, and privacy as routing criteria.
• Partner with AI-Ops to enable metric-based reporting, quality, performance, and drift monitoring across live systems, build model evaluation harnesses, and establish governance guardrails for safe AI use at scale.
• Design and implement secure, compliant AI integration patterns appropriate for a regulated financial services environment.
• Build and scale agentic pipelines and multi-agent orchestration across the software development lifecycle, from pilot through measured engineering capacity across product teams.
• Deliver production AI services supporting document intelligence and claims adjudication, conversational and voice self-service, call intelligence, fraud and anomaly detection, and regulatory monitoring.
• Develop reusable reference architectures and standard patterns so other engineering teams and embedded consultants can build AI solutions without rebuilding the foundation.
• Evaluate unit economics for AI workloads, including cost per transaction, token and inference spend, latency budgets, and build-versus-buy and self-host-versus-vendor decisions.
• Identify and prototype emerging AI capabilities relevant to the business and technology roadmap, including fast, focused feasibility spikes with clear recommendations.
• Lead hands-on training sessions and pair directly with engineering teams on new development methods and prototype or pattern adoption.
• Monitor the AI landscape and translate findings into roadmap recommendations on what to pilot, what to watch, and what to decline.
• Set technical direction and standards for embedded AI consultants and the coaching network to scale AI delivery capacity beyond the CoE.
• Mentor senior and lead engineers across business units, review AI designs, and serve as the escalation point for complex agentic and integration issues.
• Partner with security, risk, compliance, and data governance teams to support safe and compliant AI delivery.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
